Echuca railway station is located on the Deniliquin line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Echuca, and opened on 19 September 1864.[1]

It is the northern-most operating passenger railway station on the Deniliquin line, and is the terminus for Echuca line services. It also serves as the terminus of the freight-only Toolamba–Echuca line. The Deniliquin line operates northwards, over the New South Wales state border, for freight traffic. Freight sidings and a silo are located opposite the station.

History

The railway reached Echuca in 1864 and, with the opening of the Echuca Wharf, the town was transformed into a major river port, encouraging substantial urban growth in the 1870s.[2] In 1876, the Deniliquin and Moama Railway Company opened its Шаблон:Convert-long private railway northwards to Deniliquin.[3]

The brick station building at Echuca was provided with the opening of the line, along with a double-gabled brick goods shed, and a three-road locomotive depot. The station building was expanded in 1877, and a large water tower was erected in the same year (demolished in 1977).[4] An iron footbridge was added in 1880.[5] In June 1974, the former northern waiting room section of the station building was demolished.[6] The concrete rail bridge over the Murray River, to the north of the station, opened in February 1989, replacing a combined road and rail bridge that opened in 1878.[2]

A short branch line between Echuca and the port opened with the line, but was closed in 1971. In 2000, $150,000 was provided to fund the reconstruction of the line.[7] By 2002, work was underway, with the cost increased to $330,000. However, by 2007, the branch was out of use and was disconnected from the main line.[8]

The branch line from Echuca to Toolamba closed in 2007, but was reopened in October 2013.[9][10] Services on the line were suspended in January 2020.[11]
